PRINTED LABEL AND PROCESS OR METHOD OF IvTANUFACTURING THE SAME.

Application filed September 25, 1926.

The objects of the invention First. to provide a tabric label with the printing thoroughly impregnated tlllihillcorporated with the fabric without blurring.

Second, to provide an improved process of producing such a label gencrallv and also of producing such a printed tabric label.

Third. to provide such a label that protected until used.

The jaw then withdrawn and the folders complete the crease. This is described in detail in Patent No. 1.262.986 issued April 1ft, 19th. to Arthur .Rosenthal. :23 is the chute tor .the folded labels to deliver tlit'nl to the packer underneath. 24 is the packer plunger head and 25 is the plunger rod. arranged to cooperate with the feed jaws and deliver the labels into the chute.

The label strip 8 is delivered to the printing press and is grasped by the feed and folder jaws 17. The blotter strip ii. is back of it and a printing operation occurs. the imprint of which is indicated in Fig. 2. that of the plate 3 being indicated at 3" and ot' th plate 4 being indicated at 4'. The blotter is then advanced and the feed jaws operate and advance the label strip a label length, when a second printing occurs loo llu

and the imprint 4 is superposed on the imprint 3, producing the completed label as indicated in Fig. 3. The imprint of the label shows complete at 26. Fig. 4 shows the reverse of the same at 27, showing how the ink forced through the fabric.

The label strip is advanced step by step and of course the ink has a slight opportunity to set when it passes from the printing press to the guide 16. At this point the overlay strip is exactly positioned by the guide 16 and passed very gently in contact with the printed label until it reaches the clamp and creaser jaws 17 where the parts are shut close together and advanced as a single piece beyond the shears and cut oil and passed to the creaser and folder.

The creaser and folder is heated here electrically and the heat is of such intensity as to tlmroughly iron and crease the label and also the overlay strip, which is of glazed tissue paper. The heat is such that the crease is made permanent and the overlay strip is held permanently in place by its close contact and, due to the action of the heater folding the same over the ends of the label, conforms thereto and remains in position on the finished label. The heat completes the incorporation of the ink with the fabric, the overlay strip completely protects the same, and where the label strip has a seamed edge the labels when packed together serve as guards for each other, and they have opportunity to completely cure before they are passed to a stitching machine.

lVe have illustrated electric heater means. \Ve have used and believe other means of heating might be utilized. \Ve have illustrated in our disclosure double plate irtaglio but desire to state that where threecolor work is done three plates might be used, and it of course, possible to deliver a plurality of labels side by side. \Ve have not deemed it necessary to illustrate such in this behalf.

We desire to claim this method of making the labels and also the label as thus produced.

Having thus described our invention what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

l. The method of making a printed label consisting in printing the same on double plate intaglio press with a blotter strip between the counter and the label strip, advancing the strip a label length and the blotter strip at a different rate for the second impression to complete the label, delivering the label strip to a label cutter in a continuous strip, applying an overlay strip of glazed tissue paper beneath the printed label strip, clamping the same to the label strip and cutting and then folding, and creasing the label and strip under heat, as specified.

The method of making a printed label con isting in printing the same on intaglio press with a blotter strip between the counter and the label strip, advancing the strip a l el length and the blotter strip at a different rate, delivering the label strip to a label cutter in a continuous strip, applying an overlay strip of glazed tissue paper beneath the printed label strip, clamping the same to the label strip and cutting and then folding, and creasing the label and strip under heat, as specified.

3. The. method of making a printed label consisting in printing the same on double plate intaglio press with the blotter strip between the counter and the label strip, advancin g the strip a label length and the blotter strip at a ditferent rate for the second impression to tomplete the label, delivering the label strip to a label cutter in a continuous strip, clamping the same to the label strip and cutting and then folding, and creasing the label and strip under heat, as specified.

4. An intaglio printed label with creased and folded ends, and an overlay strip of glazed paper folded at the ends to retain it in position thereon, as specified.

In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hand.
